New Hope in Parkinson's disease - Dr. Deoshlok Sharma

Thanks for bringing it to public. For last 4 years I am treating parkinson patients with this medicine but mostly homemade.

Herbal insecticides are made by this rye grass. Also fish killers are made or just pulp up the plant and throw it in pond. No long term poisoning in the water. Handling is always with caution because it gives Parkinson like symptoms.

Raw Sanna also has such character but very mild.

A DICTIONARY OF PRACTICAL
MATERIA MEDICA
By John Henry CLARKE, M.D.


Lolium Temulentum.

Lolium temulentum. Darnel. N. O. Gramine©¡. Trituration of seeds. Tincture of ripe spikelets. Tincture of ripe seeds.

Clinical.¦¡Delirium tremens. Paralysis. Paralysis agitans. Tremor. Writer's cramp.

Characteristics.¦¡The name Darnel means stupefied, and the plant's evil reputation is of very ancient date. The symptoms are the result of observations made on persons poisoned by eating meal containing an admixture of Lol. tem. Allen mentions an assertion that Lolium is much infested with ergot, and that it is to this that the poisoning symptoms are due, the unaffected grain being inert; and Allen notes in support of this that the poisonings have been most frequently observed in low, wet districts, and during wet seasons. Provings are needed to decide this. The chief symptoms are: Confusion of mind, at times delirium; very great depression. Nausea and vomiting of the bread containing it and mucus with it. Paralysis, tremors, and convulsions. Cold rigors, internal chilliness; cold sweat. A very characteristic symptom is: Tightness in the calves; violent pain in the calves as if bound with cords. This tightness affects the rest of the legs in less degree. Bonino has cured a carpenter, 29, who had had trembling of the hands eleven years, < morning. Latterly the legs also began to tremble. His father and brother were similarly affected. Merc. v. and Agar. only relieved temporarily. Lot. tem. cured.

Relations.¦¡Compare: Ananth., Secale; Lath. (paralysis; < wet seasons). Op. (sleep).

Murthy

In homeopathy there won't be an exact match in the medicine for a particular disease.

We have to go by symptom similiarity. There are some similar symptoms in this medicine to those of Parkinsons.

At the best this medicine can remove those symptoms but a cure is doubtful, as the selection is not based on totality.

Hi Dr. Sharma

Loleum Temulentum 3C - How many pills per day and how many days one should try?

Thanks
Nag

Dr Sharma,

How many pills per dose for a 75 year old patient (with 15 years of parkinsons)

Should we give only one dose in the early morning / 3 doses per day?

Thanks
Nag

Dr Sharma,

I live in Hyderabad (india) and i tried all the major homeo stores and could able to find Loleum Temulentum in only one store. But the store keeper said its only availabe in 30C potency.

But it is mentioned as 3C in your message. Is it correct / typo? If it is 3C only, do you know any homeo stores in india which is selling it? I will contact them and get it by courrier.

Also what is the dosage for a 75 year old patient (with 15 years of parkinsonism)?

Thanks
Nag

Dr. Sharma,

Nag

New hope,old materia medica can give a lil idea of medicine that were not proved.Clinial proven medicine can help the distress more than that.Thanks Dr.Sharma for valuable threads.Malaker

My father suffered from a brain stroke 2 months back (Jan 2008 ending) following which he is unable to speak and swallow. He initially had facial palsy and later developed inability to swallow liquid and solid food. He has been on Ryles' tube feeding till now. He recovered from stroke and later was able to take liquids for sometime. But now he is again on tube feeding. Doctors recommended speech therapy and there aren't any such therapists in Hyderabad. He is even not able to do throat exercises suggested by doctors.

I sincerely request you to suggest any homeopathy medicines for this problem. I have completely read this topic, can we use 'Loleum Temulentum' for my father's problem? If not, what is the alternative medicine?

Please recommend the medicine, dosage and duration to use.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Dr. Deshlok Sharma,

Thanks for your quick reply. Request you to provide details, at what times during the day we should give the 3 medicines you recommended.

1) Genko Biloba Q 10 (thrice a day) - Continue for how many days?

2) Arnica Mont 10M (one dose weekly) - What time, which day and continue for how many days?

3) Lolium Temulentum 6 (3 times a day) - Continue for how many days?

Do we have to continue all the prescribed medicines for a month, please clarify.

Regards,
Vittal

Dear Dr. Deoshlok Sharma,

I forgot to mention a note in my post. We have been using Ayurvedic medicine since last 8 days. Alopathy medicines are in effect since the beginning of the stroke.

Can we use your prescription while using Alopathy & Ayurveda?

Thanks for your cooperation.

Regards,
Vittal

Hi Chiru71,
Please advise if this medicine had any affect on your father.
My father is also suffering from Parkinson's and I feel that both our dad's symptoms are identical.
Kindly advise if you have noticed any change.
Thanks
RS

Hi,
As Chiru is not replying would anybody else who has used this remedy reply and advise if it has worked for them.
Thanks

Hi RemedySearcher,

We have not started using Loleum Tem. since i could not get the required potency of 3c/6c.

Also another reason is that , based on some other prescription for some other patient, i felt Staphsagria matches most of the mentals of my father. So i took the risk of adminstering it at 30 potency and it is helping him in reducing his Urine related problems (pain, burning sensation) which were aggrevated after his prostate surgery.

I want to complete the Staph 30 bottle and give a gap of 1 - 2 weeks before starting Loleum T.

Thanks
Nag

Thanks Chiru.
I will be eagerly waiting for the results of both Staph for your father's Urine Problem and Loleum for his PD.
Regards,
RS

Dr Sharma,

1. I could get Lolium Temulentum from NHP, Mumabi. But the bottle says 6 - i am not sure whether it is 6C or 6X. If they do not say anything, what will be the scale C or X?

2. I have given 2 doses yesterday and started observing him. He developed the following symptoms:

1. Numbness of hands and feets. (We are giving massage to his hands and legs)

2. Burning sensation of whole body (we are using a wet cloth to wipe his body to reduce the burning sensation)

Can you please let me know if this is expected reaction OR this medicine is not suitable for him?

I stopped further doses and i will continue after your suggestion.

Thanks
Nag

Dr Sharma,
